Re: Sure... We'll get right on that.
said by banditws6  :The process should be as simple as having the customer pick up cards, call a provisioning number at Comcast and read the technician the card ID and host ID values. Unfortunately you could call Comcast half a dozen times and never get anyone who understands CableCARDs. If people were honest, it COULD be that way.. however, rightfully so, any cable operator is going to want to know where the equipment is being activated.
I doubt you will ever pick up a phone to activate new equipment for some time to come.. I'm guessing that even customer owned equipment will require a truck roll. |

| said by fiberguy :I doubt you will ever pick up a phone to activate new equipment for some time to come. Welllllll....Comcast in Naples, Florida let me do just that in December. Went to their nearest office, picked up two digital cable boxes and took them back to the condo. Installed them both, called in and had the one which didn't automagically authorize authorized. I could have been in any of 2500 condo units in 20 buildings and they would not be the wiser.
There is nothing about this that requires a truck roll. They just don't wanna do it right.

| Nice snipe. You just can't post without getting a flame in can you?
My comment is illustrative of why Comcast has no valid reason to demand a truck roll for these things. What was yours illustrative of?

| Pot, meet kettle. Review your history. (Maybe you should leave my posts alone in the future)
My comments were illustrative of the fact that CABLE CARDS won't be activated with out truck rolls anytime soon. I made a mistake and didn't SPECIFICALLY state "cable cards" (even though that was the context of the topic) but you couldn't wait to jump on my post (aka, Flame - see the very first line of your reply) to demean another user on this site, to which you've racked up plenty of that under your belt. |
